The Climate Conversations: Scientist Katharine Hayhoe
In our post-pandemic world, there is no more pressing issue than climate change. This fall on Disruptors, an RBC podcast, we launched a multi-part series called The Climate Conversations, which explored some of the potential solutions to a warming planet—as well as the challenges in implementing them. Early in the series, co-host John Stackhouse spoke with one of the leading voices for climate action, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe. Hayhoe is the Toronto-born chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy and a distinguished professor at Texas Tech University, who is often called “the most influential climate scientist on the planet.” In this special extended cut of the conversation, we hear more from Dr. Hayhoe on her optimism for meeting the climate moment, the challenges in changing social norms—and get some tips on how to win over climate skeptics.
